First look at Tanira Sethi’s line of exquisite cashmere saris

You can say Tanira Sethi has had fashion passed on to her as heritage—her father Sunil Sethi is only the president of the Fashion Design Council of India. And the young bearer of the illustrious last name is about to make her very own debut in fashion.

With a master's degree in textile design, Tanira Sethi will be launching her label of cashmere saris—Taani by Tanira Sethi—this week. Twenty-three-year-old Sethi lives by the philosophy of German industrial designer Dieter Rams; ‘as little design as possible'. The collection of 100 per cent pure cashmere saris keeps to a neutral colour palette with richer accents of reds.

“I always wondered, if a seven-metre shawl can be woven, why not a sari? I combined four things I loved—art, design, fashion and heritage, for my first ever collection,” says the young designer.
